Hello everyone.
Right now we're going to learn about the use of pen tool.
And this is one of the most widely using tools in Adobe Illustrator.
So let's learn in details about the use of pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
And we are going to draw a Nike logo with the use of pen tool.
So let's start from the beginning.
So I'm going to take a preset and I'm going to use this common preset as like before.
So at first you need to know what is pen tool okay.
So you can see this is the curvature tool.
And beside the curvature tool you will have this pen tool okay.
So I'm going to use this pen tool.
And what is the pen tool.
Actually the pen tool is used for drawing free path lines.
Just as if you were using an actual pencil to draw on the paper.
So I hope you got the idea.
What is the use of the pencil or pen tool?
So let's start drawing how this pen tool is working.
So let me draw my first anchor point in here.
And I'm drawing my second anchor point in here.
And then I'm going to draw my third anchor point in here.
So basically what we are getting we're getting the straight lines.
But what you will do if you need some curved shapes, you don't have to worry about it.
You just have to do one thing.
So you have to take another anchor point and you have to hold your mouse left button.
Then you will be able to create the curved shapes.
Okay.
So with the use of pen tool you will be able to create straight lines as well as curves at Owens.
So this is the beauty of Pen tool okay.
So you can see along with my straight line I am able to create some curved shapes, but it's quite tough
to do the same things with the curvature tool.
That's why Adobe Illustrator has two different type of tools.
One is curvature tool and another is pen tool.
And this is what we are going to do.
We're going to draw a Nike logo along with the straight lines and the curves with the pen tool.
So let's start the process.
And I'm going to I'm going to use this selection tool.
And I'm going going to select this one.
And I'm going to delete this.
And remember one thing you have to use the place options.
So here is the file menu.
Here is the place option.
And from there I'm going to use this Nike logo.
And I'm going to click place okay.
So I am placing here.
And you can see we got the beautiful Nike logo and this Nike logo I'm using because it's have a combination
of curved and the straight lines.
Okay.
So let me increase the size of my Nike logo.
We can take the audience.
Okay.
So now we will start creating the logo.
So I'm clicking in some empty spaces.
Then I'm going to pick this pen tool and make sure this time you have you have using this no fill for
fill color and uh, some red or green color or any color you can use for the stroke.
And instead of one point, I want to go for the two point for the stroke line.
Okay.
So I'm going to put my first anchor point in here.
And I'm going to put my second anchor point in here.
And then I'm not releasing the pressing my mouse left button.
And I am drawing my first curve like this okay.
And then you can see when I'm trying to create and another it seems kind of um, bending option, but
I don't want to use the bend.
I want to draw the straight line.
And that's why I'm directly just pulling my straight line till here.
And then I'm again, I'm going to draw my second straight line.
Till here and then I want to I want to draw my another line in here.
But this will be in curve mode.
That's why I'm using this curve mode okay okay.
Now you can see I need to I need to connect my final line till here.
But you can see my, um, pen tool seems in bending.
That's why I'm unable to connect this line properly with my first anchor point.
That's why what you have to do, you have to press escape button from your keyboard.
So I'm pressing escape button, and again, I'm.
I'm putting my mouse cursor with this anchor point, and then I'm, uh, placing my anchor point in
here.
But before that, I need to make.
Properly.
We have other great options on the table at Salt Lake.
I'm in here.
Okay.
You can see we have created the Nike logo.
Now I need to I need to remove this logo from here.
And that's why I'm using this selection tool.
And now let's remove the logo.
So you can see we have created almost similar logo as like Nike.
So with the use of with the use of pen tool, you will be able to draw this kind of tool.
So I hope you got the idea.
But one things I need to tell you that for making the perfect logo, you must have to do more practice.
Because with the use of pen tool you have to do a number of practice.
Then you will have the good accuracy.
So I will request you to do some more practice.
And I'm going to see you in our next lesson.
